Description: "What is an appropriate lifestyle for those who have received new life in Jesus Christ? Contributors from around the world discuss this question from biblical, historical, and social perspectives. They share the belief that if Christians in affluent nations responded to the teachings of Christ and the needs of the poor by living even moderately simple lifestyles, they could make an enormous contribution to the reduction of global poverty and hunger. Personal testimonies from seven evangelical Christians, including the former "Galloping Gourmet," attest to this, while outlines for biblical studies on evangelism, justice, and lifestyle help readers reconsider their own patterns of living."--Back cover.
